Del Rio’s convenient location is in the heart of San Diego, close to major freeways and the trolley (just steps from the Green Line Fenton Parkway stop). Del Rio is right across the street from Fenton Marketplace, with Costco, Ikea, Oggi’s Pizza, Starbucks and more. The rest of Mission Valley is home to excellent shopping, dining and entertainment options, including Fashion Valley mall and Westfield Mission Valley. Del Rio also offers convenient access to San Diego State University.

That said, it’s easy for residents to find excuses to stay home — two resort-style pools and spas beckon on sunny days (so, almost all days). Picnic areas feature gas barbecues for outdoor dining. There’s also an outdoor lounge that’s perfect for relaxing with friends, two 24-hour fitness studios and a yoga studio. Residents’ dogs get a park of their own to socialize and play. Residents enjoy the security of a gated community.
